Spoilers For 8/10 Cats Does Countdown (S1, E1 - 26 July '13)

[James Robinson]

So, the mash-up of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown has now been turned into a 4-episode series, following the success of the 4 stand-alone episodes.

The first of these episodes is tonight and it features Sean Lock & Jason Manford vs. Jon Richardson & Rhod Gilbert, with Danny Dyer in DC, and Joe Wilkinson helping our Rach as normal.

Join Jack for the recap later.

Looking forward to this, BUT, my lad, who is 7 going on 8, has really got into Countdown recently and want to watch it, LOL, don't think so Harry!!!

[Graeme Cole]

Teasers provided in the sponsorship bits? Wherever did you hear of such a thing?

[James Robinson]

MISCUED as an alternative in round 5.

[James Robinson]

Interesting to see what the answer to the 3rd TTT will be, considering that the solver says there is no 8 from ARSEPROD...........

[Andy Platt]

That's why I couldn't get it?

Confirmed from the ODE3 that it is invalid.

[Matt Morrison]

what wasit

EARDROPS, or as it should be, EAR DROPS

[Gavin Chipper]

Are the Teatime Teasers bound by the same dictionary as the actual game? There's a discussion point for you.

[Adam Gillard]

This show is far worse than 8/10 Cats and far far far worse than Countdown.

[Grant Waters]

I thought this was very good, although some of the jokes seemed a bit familiar (like watching Shooting Stars week after week).

My wife loved the cats on the desk.

I don't know who the bloke in DC was but I hope he doesn't feature in the whole series!

I'd love to see John Richardson play a real game of Countdown - I think he'd do well!

Loved Rachel's joke about the contestants being as good as regular Countdown finalists ... are at Comedy - lol

I don't know who the bloke in DC was but I hope he doesn't feature in the whole series!

That was Danny Dyer, who by calling him an actor is almost laughable, but luckily they have a different guest in each week for this.

It's comedian Nick Helm this week, and then the American Rich Hall next week.

These will be better dictionary corner guests - I'm especially looking forward to Rich Hall but neither of them will be as good as Henning Wehn.

Eh, it's all a good craic.

[Ziggy Davidson]

That was Danny Dyer,

Yeah - or maybe Danny Dire !!
